Bio

Recently working with hän, (a basketball hoop), Eliisa Loukola (b. 1997, Finland) deals with (re)translation and language (co)creation through the notion of re-performance in an attempt to hold a dialogue with hän.
Working with found objects, she investigates traces, (dis)appearances and embodied memories. She relies on writing as methodology, and
finds freedom in the disregarding of grammar, while discussing authorship and collaboration with the non-human.

Eliisa Loukola is part of the collective “Department of Collective Collaborations”, together with Tianyi Zheng, Ida Leitjing and Lena Longefay.
